Pros

Remuneration, canteen, gym, and workstationare pleasant

Cons

Manager, senior associate and associate who have been here for more than five years are working like they operating in the core department but they are not (it is a GC in Mumbai). Feedback is given for more 60 mins for even a small mistake (whereas the firm is ok with mistakes it is just indians who are stretching it unnecessarily) and contigents are belittled to an extent till their ego is satisfied. If you think to join then you will be treated as a slave not an employee. There is one day work from home available but if someone takes an extra day then a meeting is scheduled to understand why it was taken (such a narrow mindset). Growth is very slow.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
